I like the thinking, unfortunately that site is a former demolition land fill.


Soccer is just fine, but land fill makes no difference....the area just east of Pittsburgh, from 11th north a few blocks was coal mine and land fill.  Then houses.

I won't start a new topic for this as its related.

News stories this morning about a "rescue" in the river repeatedly stated that "Swimming in the Arkansas River is prohibited, illegal, not allowed" or some such nonsense. The quality of our news reporting is at an all time low.

The truth is that only swimming near the low water dam at Zink Lake is prohibited.

The river is a public river. You may swim or boat in it at your own risk just like the Keystone Lake.

The Zink Lake area from 66 to the lowater dam is restricted to non-motorized boats except for the rowing crew.

This is from the KJRH news story:

"Breckenridge says the group did not know it is illegal to swim in the river until rescue crews working to save his friend told them."


Correct wording would be:

Breckenridge says the group did not know it is illegal to swim in zink lake by the low water dam until rescue crews working to save his friend told them.

As much as you might like it, Tull isn't an A list performer.  He may have gone to Dallas, but he played at the Opera House...not the AA Center.

Apples <> Oranges.

Wait, I see what you did there.

Jethro Tull was a lawyer and agriculturalist in 18th century England.  Called to the bar on 11 December 1693. He invented the seed drill bringing dramatic increases in efficiency to agriculture!  Arguably, the father of 'organic' gardening and farming, he considered the earth to be the sole food of plants.  Organic gardening/farming "slogan" is; "feed the soil, not the plant!"  Note the similarity in philosophy.  The problem was he didn't make the connection between organic matter in the soil actually being the source of all goodness to the soil....

"That which nourishes and augments a plant is the true food of it. Every plant is earth, and the growth and true increase of a plant is the addition of more earth."



There is a band named Jethro Tull that has been banging around almost as long...well, maybe not quite.... still a good show!  They shoulda come to Tulsa!  Now I am gonna have to go to New Zealand or Netherlands to see them!!

The locations they are playing are nowhere near the size of the BOk Center. Think Brady or PAC.
